Replacement tassels for a seal skin sporran.

[MacGuffin]

Hello there,

A few years back I received a vintage 1950s seal skin sporran (champagne colored) as a graduation present.
Unfortunately, it was missing one of the original tassels and one of my siblings thought the other unattached tassel was a cat toy *sigh*.
I've searched around but the only available ones come from the UK.
I was wondering if anyone had some leads on finding replacements in the US?

Can you post images of what you’re trying to match?

I have three tassels on hand from this sporran:

Dear Shaun,

Thank you for responding!

At the moment I'm away at grad school and don't have my sporran on hand.
But I should be returning home at the end of the week and could take pictures then.

In the meant time, here is a picture of a similar sporran (though my sporran had more of a gold tint and a few spots in the hide , and dark red leather).

Hello Shaun,
Was able to find my sporran finally!
Have to admit, my memory must have been a bit off, forgot it was spotted lol.
I hope the photos I've posted will help.

I believe the hardware for the tassels I have are silver plated, so they can be cleaned up easily enough. They’re yours for the price of shipping if you like. Please send me a PM if you’re interested.

Cheers,

I have a bit of mink left over from another build I'm working on, if you want. The colour should work OK. I'm happy to sent you a few scraps for the price of shipping.
